Make maths click, one small discovery at a time. NumberSparks is a playful visual maths app for children learning selected Grade 3, 4 and 5 topics. Each short lesson explains an idea, lets learners change a visual model, and gives clear feedback as they try an answer. Included lessons cover: • Grade 3: equal groups, multiplication and sharing • Grade 4: breaking multiplication into parts and applying the strategy • Grade 5: fraction parts and adding and subtracting fractions with matching denominators Children can save unfinished work, replay lessons in Practice and see their activity in My Progress. Optional teaching audio reads useful prompts, while sound and motion controls let each learner choose a comfortable experience. All nine included lessons are free. There are no ads, in-app purchases or accounts. Learning progress stays on the device. NumberSparks currently teaches selected topics rather than the complete curriculum for each grade.
